First Pictures with New Lens

We have finally had some rainy weather here in San Diego, which is great because this has been one of the dryest winters in recent memory. Of course with the rain comes the nasty stuff that gets washed into the ocean, so I've taken a few days off from surfing and plan to hit the waves today before the next storm system moves in.

However, yesterday I made my way down to the beach with my new Canon 70-200 F/4 L series lens, and took a few inaugural shots with it to see how it compared to the old Vivitar lens I was using from my wife's older Rebel SLR. The lens performed great, with super-quick auto focus, and just about every picture turned out crisp and clear. I am stoked! Here are a few shots from yesterday.

Rat, escaping work to enjoy a few a few quick waves.

A nice looking left:
